Let The Sun Go Down Before You Call The Round

Did you notice Augusta’s Billy Payne wearing sunglasses when play was called because of darkness? Strange sight watching them blow the horn (well no one at CBS seemed to hear it) as sunlight was hitting the trees. Tiger, naturally, couldn’t wait to mark his muddy ball on 10, and he wasn’t shy about taking advantage of the situation. 

Q. Could you talk about the mud ball on 10 and if that made it an easy decision?

TIGER WOODS: Oh, it was a no-brainer. It was a great break that they blew the horn and they said it was going to either blow at 7:45 or whenever the last group finished 9, whatever happened first. When we saw that down there,it was nice to know I could put the tee in the ground.

Tiger also addressed the apparent tee-time boondoggle after the completion of the second round, which had players going to the wrong tee and going out with the wrong players and CBS totally confused.

Q. There was some footage of you in between rounds lounging around. Were you getting antsy around waiting as long as you were?

TIGER WOODS: Well we didn't know what time we were going to go off. There were no tee times. They were calling guys to the tee. No one had a clue. I don't know what happened, but I guess it was computer failure or something like that or no tee times were written. So guys were on the putting green going, "What time do you play? I have no idea." So I'm standing around, putting around, so we don't have a clue. So I went on the range, warmed up, thought I had 55 minutes or so, according to the math we did if we're going eight-minute intervals because that's what it looked like starting out. All of a sudden, I had an hour and 15 minutes, so I had to shut it down and laid on the bag and rested. Thomas went over and did it and same thing with David.
